I'd say this is one of the better 40K games of recent times, almost on par with Mechanicus. While I don't like to compare most 40K games to Mechanicus, I can with this game seeing how they're both similar in a lot of aspects. Grey Knights have always been one of my more favorite factions in 40K so to take control of them in an actually decent game is pretty sick to me. With lots of ways to customize the Knights, each of them really feels like an individual character which I love a lot. The story here is actually pretty interesting with you going across a system with your ship to investigate and purge Nurgle's plague. And boy does grandpa Nurgle not ♥♥♥♥ around.

This game is pretty difficult even on the 2nd difficulty, which I'm fine with as I enjoy a challenge in these types of games. Now the difficulty doesn't stem from the fact that the enemies you fight deal a ton of damage and require you to have like a third eye to predict their moves to fight them and win. The difficulty stems from the ridiculous amount of enemies there are on the map at a given time. A lot of problems stem from this actually because EVERY enemy has to take a turn and move/attack/setup positions which takes so damn long, I could finish reading a lore page about why Vulkan is a childkiller. A good way that Mechanicus balanced this out was that you were able to take more than 4 characters with you on a mission which made it even with the enemy. Here you only get 4 Grey Knights that die pretty quickly if you're not careful with their placement.

Overall, it's a very fun game but the amount of time it takes to complete a single mission due to how many enemies there are compared to your Knights is ridiculous.
